Two faces of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in spinal cord repair: a role in microglia/macrophage activation.

Two faces of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in spinal cord repair: a role in microglia/macrophage activation.

BACKGROUND: Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) is a major component of the glial scar.
